Oooh! One can only hope! Because, medicine!!! Do you find that it self seeds? Does it also create more plants by root division?
EDIT: Reread Judiths question, apparently root division does work.
These are from seed. One of the reasons I kept trying is its' use for snakebites. You can read about that in
this thread. And there is a YouTube by Doc Jones that includes it
in this thread. And
this thread by Judson.
We have a pond, wild spots, and cottonmouth and copperhead are seen several times each year. We also have a rattlesnake native to our region, but apparently it hides better. Living in the south, we've all been bitten by brown recluse spiders, but we've treated that in the past with plantation and comfrey salve. Watched for growing black areas, but they never developed. Just saw a horrible pic of a bad infection today. Holy crap.
